WHY DO YOU LIKE CEMETERIES? Are you a Taphophile?
Posted by Diane Kaylyn Neldon Brians on
What is it about cemeteries that are so fascinating to so many? I have wondered this myself. Graveyards, coffins, skulls, why am I intrigued with them? The history with the cemetery and the area. How people celebrate life and death. There is such beauty. We have been to cemeteries that are so amazingly beautiful and some that are now only remains to a people that were once thriving that are now gone. Where there was once grand display of status has since been left to decay and rot. The forgotten. The architecture of these cities of the dead. The wrought iron and stain glass.
